Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Hamilton Depression Scale-17 scores

    the patients' depression were evaluated with Hamilton Depression Scale with 17 questions after ECT. The scores ranged 0-68, and \<7 were normal, the higher the score means more serious disease.

    the 1 day after the last ECT

  • Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale scores

    the patients' depression were evaluated with Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale scores after ECT. The scores ranged 0-60, and \<17 were normal, the higher the score means more serious disease.

    the 1 day after the last ECT

Secondary Outcomes (18)

  • Hamilton Depression Scale-17 scores

    baseline (before first ECT)

  • Hamilton Depression Scale-17 scores

    one week after the first ECT

  • Hamilton Depression Scale-17 scores

    one month after the last ECT

  • Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale scores

    baseline (before first ECT)

  • Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale scores

    one week after the first ECT

  • +13 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (5)

  • Headache

    from emergency, assessed up to 24 hours after each ECT

  • Nausea and vomiting

    from emergency, assessed up to 24 hours after each ECT

  • Myalgia

    from emergency, assessed up to 24 hours after each ECT

  • +2 more other outcomes
